Regular Member Testaccount9900 Posted July 16, 2022 Regular Member Share Posted July 16, 2022 Heya, on day 10 so far, everythings look good, was told to gentley wash my scalp, with a small cotton gauze after soaking the scabs, just wondering if this is a graft that never took, or if its just the distal end of the hair shaft? No bleeding what so ever, or bumps or scratches etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE TRUTH Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 This is considered normal (at least in theory...) At 10 days and if there was no bleeding this is considered to be a hair shaft attached to a scab. Dr. Bernstein and Dr. Rassman concluded that hair follicles cannot be removed after 10 days no matter if you pull on a scab. Now the outcome of a hair transplant the survival rate and stuff are always highly unpredictable. Fingers crossed and wait 6 months. Good luck and all the best.

Rahal Hair Transplant Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Testaccount, All follicular units are carefully placed deeply into recipient sites and during the course of the first couple of days, the surrounding tissue of the graft creates a strong bond with the surrounding tissue of the scalp. In other words, even if for some reason if the hair follicle dies and wasn’t going to grow, it wouldn’t simply fall out. At 10 days post op, you would need surgery to remove a transplanted hair follicle. And you certainly know if you had lost a graft because they would be bleeding and you would feel pain. What you are most likely seeing here is a scab with a piece of the hair that has broken off from the follicle. Rest assured however, the follicle is still deeply rooted underneath the surface of the scalp and there’s no reason to believe that is not going to row just like the others. Long story short, try not to worry. What you were seeing is perfectly normal. This happens all the time.

Senior Member gillenator Posted July 22, 2022 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2022 It’s not a scab, it’s a crust which is the tip of the graft above the scalp line that dries out and turns dark because it’s dead tissue. 1 Gillenator Independent Patient Advocate I am not a physician and not employed by any doctor/clinic.

And what part of the actual graft is responsible for the growth of the folice because I always assumed it was the big black bulb at the end of the graft?
